About me
Born and raised in Regina, SK, Canada I moved to Vancouver, BC after my training in economics at Queen’s University. I currently work as a Fisheries Economist, researching the human role in managing living marine resources on a global scale. One focus of my work concerns the influence of government subsidies on renewable resources such as marine fish.
I have a beautiful girlfriend, Jen, and a black cat named Hercules. In my spare time I enjoy making music, boxing, and tending to planted aquariums.
There is more info about me scattered about the web. You can connect with me via LinkedIn, read more about the company I work for, or view my research profile at Mendeley.
